MARQUETTE - Capitalizing on your opponent's struggles on the mound can often result in a baseball triumph.

The Marquette American Legion Blues did just that at Haley Memorial Field Tuesday night.

The Blues scored runs on four wild pitches by visiting Ishpeming in the third inning that broke open a tight game and led to an 11-0, five-inning, mercy-rule decision for Marquette (26-6).
